Tinubu Storms Jos for APC Rally as Security Forces Seal Off Major Roads, Screen Motorists

According to Daily Post, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Jos, Plateau State, on Saturday, November 14, 2026, for the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central presidential campaign rally amid heightened security across the city.

Security personnel were deployed from the early hours to major roads and junctions as authorities prepared for the President’s visit. Areas placed under close surveillance included Hill Station Junction, Zaria Road, Polo Roundabout and sections of Yakubu Gowon Way.

Reports said security operatives stopped vehicles, screened passengers and monitored movements around Zaria Road Stadium, where the political gathering was scheduled to take place.

Tinubu was accompanied by a delegation of political figures, including First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas.

Other members of the entourage included APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, several state governors and party officials.

Tinubu was also expected to commission three projects established by the Plateau State Government. They included the Business Process Outsourcing Centre in Jos, the Plateau Special Activity Centre and 50 hybrid Jet Mover buses intended to improve transportation between local government areas.

The Business Process Outsourcing Centre is designed to provide employment opportunities and connect young people with services in the digital economy. The Plateau Special Activity Centre is intended to support intelligence gathering and security operations, while the buses are expected to strengthen transport links across the state.

Chairman of the Local Organising Committee and Plateau State Secretary to the Government, Arc. Samuel Jatau, said preparations had been completed for the event.

He said the committee had made arrangements covering the venue, transportation, traffic management, security, crowd control and emergency response to ensure the programme proceeded smoothly.

The rally formed part of the APC’s mobilisation activities ahead of the 2027 general election. It brought party leaders and supporters to Jos as the party sought to consolidate its presence in the North-Central region.

The heightened security presence reflected the measures put in place to manage the presidential visit and the gathering expected at the stadium.
